Irving Independent School District announces today it has selected GridPoint, Inc., an established leader for smart energy solutions, to design, engineer and install a 582 kilowatt solar panel system on Lady Bird Johnson Middle School. Set to open August 2011, the school will be the largest net zero-energy school in the United States.
A zero-energy building is one that produces as much energy as it consumes. By using the most energy efficient materials and on-site power generation, the building’s energy consumption will be approximately half the consumption of a typical middle school building.
